Brazil's government summoned Argentina's representative after defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States via Argentina.
Brazil's government summoned Argentina's representative on Thursday afternoon after defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States via Argentina. Bolsonaro, who is under investigation in Brazil over allegations of corruption and money laundering, refused to concede the election won by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Sunday and has called the elections fraudulent without providing evidence. He arrived in Miami on Wednesday.
The summoning marks the latest episode in tense relations between the two South American powers. Argentine President Javier Milei backed Bolsonaro in the presidential election and is yet to acknowledge Lula's win, unlike other Trump allies in the region who quickly congratulated the incumbent. Relations between Argentina and Brazil deteriorated significantly in July when Brazil recalled its ambassador to Argentina after Milei insulted Brazilian officials while in São Paulo, calling Lula a 'thief' and 'delinquent'. Argentina also recalled its ambassador. Both countries' interests are now represented by lower-ranking diplomats known as chargés d'affaires.
